fitted a zzr1100 swingarm and rear wheel
This mod loses the 18inch rear wheel and allows me to run the 17inch wheel for better tyre choices.
Oh, and now has 180 rear section rather than the original 140/150.
fitted a new hagon shock and re-greased every bearing i could get to.
New front and rear sprockets fitted in an attempt to keep the gearing the same.

Did you notice any handling change with the wider section rear? |

Took her for early MOT. Failed, on the front wheel (and therefore tire) being fitted wrong way round. must have been like that for 3500 miles, when I fitted tire and did fork rebuild. Will fix tomorrow, might swap a new pr4 early to save some effort, racetec has at most, a month before its too cold to use.
Why do shiny newish bikes have shitty sliding front callipers, same as the triple a few pages back, same as a 1990 cbr6. They have given it floating discs. Interested to know if they are upgraded with ceramic pistons. |

PR4 fitted. Perfect fit bead, the little ring had both beads seated at a suprisingly low 20psi within 30 seconds. Quicker than carrying wheel to house and a fuck ton easier than getting big compressor out - recommend.

Went for a spin up to Sandsend just north of Whitby, about 200 miles all in and a good scare when the back tyre hit something greasy coming out of a slow corner
200 miles on 1 tank and not hanging about |

Changed the oil, filter and coolant on my 400 and also attempted to cure the oil leak from the rubber seal on the rocker cover, which is a complete shit as it takes as much dismantling as doing the valve clearances which I only did a few months ago.
Also found a decent solution to venting the rocker box now the airbox has gone.

got the jetwash out at work and blasted all the greasy oil stuff off the engine and swingarm / wheels / engine and loose dirt in prep for a proper clean and acf this weekend.
refilled and primed the scottoiler
THOUGHT i had sorted the problems with the hid kit (not turning on sometimes) this weekend when i had a poke about and the earth lead came off in my hands, but nope, it didnt come on again when i went into town at lunchtime, and worked again on the way home ____________________ killa wrote: Im an ass man myself |

Deauville work hack
Last week I filled, primed and painted my front fairing, I had an off last winter which smashed the front fairing to pieces, lived with it all winter with plastic welded scars and p40 filler all over the inside of it. It now looks a bit more presentable! It's not a colour match, but I didn't want to spend £60 on honda paint for a commuter hack.
Also upgraded all dash bulbs to LEDs, as half of them weren't working, I can now see my Speedo on dark mornings instead of having to wait to overtake a car so their headlights illuminate my dash.
Fitted a usb charge port in the left cubby hole and ran it back to the relay I fitted for my grips.
To do over the next few weeks or so:
*front and rear brake clean, regreasing pistons/slide pins etc.
*Oil change
*Shaft drive oil change
*Replace the heated grips with some new Oxford ones, the current ones have split slightly
*Replace the rear tyre, it's worn rather odd, it's an Avon storm 3d, but looks like it's been ran at really low pressure, the sides have worn so much that the centre is proud at the edges where it hits the softer sides. I also have a nail in it which was noticed on the MOT. Not leaking though.
*Rear wheel bearings while the rear wheel is out
Mt09
Last weekend I fitted Yamaha heated grips, they look OEM but don't get particularly hot tbh. 22W says it all, but at least they look good. Will be fine for chilly spring/autumn mornings and evenings as opposed to the depths of winter.
Yesterday I cleaned the front brakes out, greased pistons etc.
Also refitted the stock tail end, the R and G tail tidy wasn't really my thing. I prefer the OEM look. The r and g left a gap in the under tray area that allowed dirt to get inside. Annoyed the crap out of me.
To do:
Rear brake clean out
Oil and filter change
Brake fluid at some point (2yr change)
Coolant at some point (2yr change)
Sync the throttle bodies next time i have the tank off |

After changing a radiator hose and fan switch on the Kawasaki a few weeks back I couldn't remember ever having changed the coolant on the Yamaha, and in 30,000 miles I couldn't see a record of it in the service history. The manual says change every 3 years. Well the coolant came out clean and green and no muck came out when I flushed the system with water. Refilled with blue stuff. ____________________ '93 Yamaha XJR400 grey import (p-ex’d), '99 Kawasaki ZX6R (nicked), another '99 ZX6R (still got it) and '03 Yamaha YZF-R1 (still got that too.) |
